Prevention, Stress Management, and Treatment | Second Edition
E
a
Our understanding of eating disorders has improved markedly over the past 10 years since the t
i
publication of the previous edition of this volume. Early intervention is the key, as body dissatisfaction, n
g
obsession with thinness, and restrained and binge eating can be found in those as young as ten.

Exploring prevention methods and therapeutic options, the second edition of Eating Disorders in D
Women and Children: Prevention, Stress Management, and Treatment is updated with new research i
s
on these devastating maladies. o
r
d
Highlights in the second edition include
e
r
s
•An emphasis on the physiology of eating disorders and genetic factors related to anorexia

i
and bulimia n

•Theories on prevention and the identification of at-risk individuals W
•The latest information on therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, o
constructionist, and narrative approaches as well as pharmaceutical management m
•Nutritional evaluation and treatment e
n
•Specific exercise recommendations for women and children with eating disorders

a
n
With contributions from acclaimed clinicians widely known for their work with the eating disorder
d
population, this volume recognizes the multifaceted nature of these disorders, addresses the widening
C
demographic range of those afflicted, and delves into the issues behind their development. It provides
h
practical recommendations for treatment from many perspectives, presenting enormous hope for
i
people who painfully struggle with these disorders. In addition, it explores critical measures that ld
can be taken to help the larger population understand and work to prevent eating disorders in r
e
their communities.

For the brave women working to overcome their eating problems, and for the friends and family
members who support them, just as my friends and family supported me.
Kristin L. Goodheart
To Jane L. Winer and Kristin L. Goodheart, two remarkable individuals who made this book pos-
sible, each in her own special way. My collaboration on research and writing projects with Jacalyn
Robert-McComb began when Jane introduced us and suggested that we work together. As Dean of
Arts and Sciences at Texas Tech, she was exceptionally encouraging of faculty and skillful in bring-
ing together people with similar interests.
Kristin’s involvement with this book began over two years ago when she was asked to co-author
one of the chapters. Due to her diligent and steady work, her impressive knowledge of eating disor-
ders, and her maturity and good judgment, she became a co-editor for the book. Kristin’s involve-
ment in the editing and the writing of this book was indispensible. I am so grateful for the many
ways in which she is devoted to providing hope to those individuals who have eating disorders.
Jim Clopton
To the two most important men in my life, my father, Vernon Robert, who died of cancer on August
8, 2010, while I was working on this book, and my faithful and loving husband, Robert McComb.
I would also like to dedicate this book to women who have suffered the loss of someone they love.

In Memory of John Rohwer
John was truly devoted to children’s health. He wrote
two chapters for the first edition of this book, revised
those chapters for this edition, and was a dependable and
conscientious colleague throughout the work on these
books. John died on December 25, 2010, of injuries from
an accidental fall from his roof on Christmas Eve while
shoveling snow. The editors join his family, friends, and
other colleagues in honoring his life.
